Welcome back to Scrap Around The World Challenge SIX,hosted by Design Team member Jessy Christopher from Malaysia (yup, that's me)!
We had over 70 entries last month so we are looking forward toanother bumper month before the festive season kicks in!!
Last month we made some IMPORTANT RULE CHANGES so if you haven't checked them out yet please look HERE
Feel free to interpret the mood board in any way you like,
using one image, several of them, all of them or even just
one aspect of an image, using ANY COLOURS! Please
do let us know HOW YOU WERE INSPIRED!!
For example:- You could use fresh, clean colours like white, pale blue,
yellow, pink, mint green & gold. Patterns such as florals/leafy foliage
together with images of birds, flowers, chevrons & polka-dots! There
are elements of vintage mixed in with modern; doilies, airy lace designs,
pretty bows & clashing colours, shapes & prints. Circles, checks,
stripes - this board is all about eclectic combinations!
There's an air of nostalgia mixed in with the uber-modern images too.
This could prompt you to scrap about different generations, life as it
was then & how it is now, or simply outdoor memories inspired by the
botanical prints. This board evokes images of purity, beauty &
femininity,with a touch of romance & homely peace & comfort.
OPTIONAL SKETCH

In your blog post:-
1) Please share our mood board image.
{you may show the sketch image but ONLY IF YOU USE IT}

3) Please check our RULES OF PLAY HERE before entering.
Here is my take on the mood board that I put together...
I was so inspired by each image that is in the mood board. The perfect collection that came to mind was by Crate Paper Maggie Holmes'. I'm sure you can see the resemblance of each image on my layout. Everything fitted perfectly. For the background, I had so much fun playing with gelatos and absolutely adore the result. Close-up shots:
